Sen. Charles Schumer yesterday urged the state to ban "deadly" caffeinated alcoholic beverages such as "Four Loko" and "Joose."
"Four Loko, and drinks like it, are a toxic, dangerous mix of caffeine and alcohol, and they are spreading like a plague across the country," said Schumer.
Schumer has also asked the Food and Drug Administration to investigate the safety of these drinks.
The canned drinks, popular with young adults, contain as much as two to three coffee cups worth of caffeine and twice the amount of alcohol as beer.
